alleryStart learning →Binomial variance follows from which fact about Bernoulli parts?
AParts are all equal to p
BVariances of independent parts add
CMeans of the parts multiply
DProducts of the parts vanish
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Variances of independent parts add
The variance of a sum of independent variables is the sum of their variances, giving npq.
